Introducing Old Shop Framing in Kington High Street

A Collaboration of Creative Minds

Alan Kerr is delighted to announce the opening of Old Shop Framing on May 1st 2024. This new venture promises a unique blend of art and craftsmanship, offering bespoke picture framing services alongside a specially curated collection of artworks by local artists.

Whether you’re safeguarding a treasured family heirloom or unveiling a new artwork, Alan is your go-to expert for bespoke framing. With a passion for precision and an eye for detail, Old Shop Framing aims to deliver the highest quality with personalised one-to-one consultations, tailoring each framing project to your preferred taste.

Owned by Bernard Ray, The Old Shoe Shop is a lovingly restored grade II listed building located at 43 High Street, Kington, Herefordshire.

The shop is a hub of creative talent, with Celia Kibblewhite of New Leaf Design and Celia's Handmade Herbal Body-care, and textile designer and floral artist, Caroline Ede, on the first floor.

The ground floor is where you’ll find the Old Shop Framing workshop.

Experience The Marches Makers Festival

The Kington Marches Makers Festival runs from the 4th-6th May, and is an annual celebration of creativity, craftsmanship and community spirit. The vibrant event showcases the talent of local artisans, offering visitors a unique opportunity to explore a diverse range of handmade goods, artworks and performances.

From traditional crafts such as pottery, woodworking and textiles to contemporary art installations and interactive workshops, The Marches Makers Festival highlights the rich cultural heritage and creative flair of the region, bringing together business owners, residents and visitors alike.

This year, Old Shop Framing will open our doors for the very first time and welcome you inside to view a selection of Alan’s own artworks inspired by the stunning landscapes of Herefordshire.

Alan art uses fireworks to create images that incorporate a diverse range of foraged materials, including stone from the River Wye, local orchard apples and hedgerow blackberry juice, into his creations. ​
